Hmmm, so what you're really worried about is that
people will be able to create static methods without
using staticmethod().

I think the solution to this has already been
mentioned. If you're wrapping a method in something
that inserts an extra argument at the beginning,
then you write it as

   @somewrapper
   def meth(extra_arg, self, arg1, arg2, ...)
     ...

Simple, explicit, non-magical, no introspection
required.
